FIG. 2 illustrates an example of a wireless communications system 200 for different numerology for signal transmission.
wireless communications system 200 may represent aspects of techniques performed by a UE 115 or base station 105 as described with reference to FIG. 1.
the wireless communications system 200 may include a base station 105-a that supports communication with multiple UEs 115-a and 115-b over a coverage area 110-a.
base station 105-a supports bi-directional communication with UE 1 15-a over communication link 125-a.
Communication link 125-a may be used for communication according to a first tone spacing scheme associated with a given channel type.
base station 105-a may transmit signals over a PDCCH to UE 1 15-a using resources 205 (e.g., time, frequency) corresponding to the first tone spacing scheme or numerology.
the resources 205 may have a certain tone spacing and symbol duration based on the first tone spacing scheme and the tone spacing or symbol duration may differ depending on the channel type.
the base station 105-a may transmit signals via a PDCCH to UE 1 15-a over resources 205 based on the first tone spacing scheme and may transmit signals via a PBCH to UE 1 15-a over resources 205 according to a tone spacing scheme different from the first tone spacing scheme.
multiple symbols may span a slot, a mini slot, a subframe, or a frame and the number of symbols may vary depending on the tone spacing. For instance, a tone spacing of less than 60kHz with a normal cyclic prefix (CP) may have 7 or 14 symbols per slot or mini slot, while a tone spacing of greater than 60kHz with a normal CP may have 14 symbol per slot or mini slot.
CP normal cyclic prefix
Base station 105-a also supports communication with UE 1 15-b over
Communication link 125-b may be used for communication according to a second tone spacing scheme associated with a given stage of wireless communication between the base station 105-a and the UE 1 15-b.
the first and second tone spacing schemes may be the same or alternatively, the first and second tone spacing schemes may be different.
Stages of wireless communication may include different types of wireless communication procedures, such as a RACH procedure, a radio resource control (RRC) connection procedure, a synchronization procedure (e.g., a timing alignment procedure), procedures related to enhanced mobile broadband (eMBB) communications, or procedures related to ultra-reliable and low latency communications (URLLC).
the stages of wireless communication may also depend on whether the UE 1 15-b is attempting to connect to base station 105-a, is connected to the base station 105-a, or has disconnected from the base station 105-a.
base station 105-a may communicate with UE 1 15-b using resources 210 corresponding to the second tone spacing scheme.
the resources 210 may have a certain tone spacing and symbol duration based on the second tone spacing scheme and the tone spacing or symbol duration may differ depending on the stage of wireless communication.
the UE 1 15-b may transmit a random access preamble in a RACH procedure to base station 105-a over resources 210 based on the second tone spacing scheme and may transmit uplink data to the base station 105-a over resources 210 according to a tone spacing scheme different from the second tone spacing scheme.
a UEs 1 15-a and 1 15-b may communicate with base station 105-a using multiple tone spacings for the same channel type or during the same stage of communication. For example, UE 1 15-b may transmit a random access preamble when participating in a RACH procedure with base station 105-a using a third tone spacing scheme and the base station 105-a may transmit a random access response using a tone spacing different from the third tone spacing.
UEs 1 15-a and 1 15-b may communicate with base station 105-a using different tone spacing schemes for downlink, uplink, or sidelink (UE to UE) communications. For instance, UE 1 15-a may communicate with base station 105-a using a fourth tone spacing scheme for downlink and a fifth tone spacing scheme for uplink transmissions. In some cases, UE 1 15-a and 1 15-b may communicate with one another over communication link 125-c according to a sixth tone spacing scheme, which may be the same or different than any of the other tone spacing schemes.
a UE 1 15-a may receive an indication from the base station 105-a that indicates the tone spacing scheme to be used for uplink, downlink, or sidelink communications. For example, a base station 105-a may transmit an indication to UE 1 15-a that indicates a tone spacing scheme to use for communication with UE 1 15-b in sidelink communications. UE 1 15-a may then communicate with UE 1 15-b based on the tone spacing scheme indicated by base station 105-a, which may differ depending on the communication channel type or a stage of communication between UE 1 15-a and UE 1 15-b.
a tone spacing scheme may indicate a number of different tone spacings that may be applied to different stages of communication or different types of communication channels.
UE 1 15-a may communicate with base station 105-a according to a tone spacing scheme that indicates different tone spacings to use for different stages (e.g., RACH procedure, data communications) or for different channels (e.g., PDCCH, PUCCH), while UE 1 15-b may communicate with base station 105-a according to a tone spacing scheme that indicates tone spacings different from those used for communication with UE 1 15-a.
tone spacing schemes between the various devices of FIG. 2 may differ and depend on any other suitable factor(s).
the UE 115-a may also detect a tone spacing scheme (e.g., a numerology) being used by the base station 105-a based on a number of copies of one or more signals received from the base station 105-a.
